Abstract

The consequences of climate change have been increasingly visible in Serbia in recent years. From periods of drought and extremely high temperatures (the summer of 2024 was officially the warmest summer in Serbia since measurements began) [1,2], to highly intense precipitation. The amount of precipitation and its redistribution has changed over the years. The number of days with extremely heavy precipitation has increased by more than 5 times [3], influencing the risk of flooding, as it was the case in May 2014 when Serbia was hit by extreme floods [4]. The question is whether (and to what extend) Serbia is ready to implement nature-based solutions to cope with the consequences of climate change and to use them for flood risk management?
